Grimm-Lancer

Lancers are large hornet-like Creatures of Grimm. There are two types: a smaller, more common version called a Warrior Drone and a larger variation known as a Queen Lancer. Lancers have a three-segmented black body with three sets of legs. They have a white armored mask and armor along their back. On the back of their abdomen, the armor is in four overlapping plates. They have jagged pincers, antenna, four red transparent wings and a stinger. A Queen Lancer is close in size to an Atlas cargo airship and has seven overlapping plates.

The Lancer is capable of firing its stinger while keeping it attached to its body via an organic tether, functioning like a harpoon. The stinger is strong enough to pull apart the wooden frame of a Mistral airship as well as breaching a metal hull. A Queen Lancer has the added ability to fire out the spikes on its face. They also showed more intelligence compared to other Grimm, as they engaged in a coordinated attack. Some of them held down a ship, while one of them sacrificed itself to take it down.
